Craig's Mum's New Phone

Craig has recently begun playing a new game. It is a game for one player only. And, it is a simple game. Craig pushes himself into a small space and says "卡住了沒" (Am I stuck? or Are you stuck? depending on who says it to who.) Craig's Mum says Craig learned this while watching Finding Nemo with her.


So, that's why Craig was pushing himself under the sofa not long ago.


The game always finishes the same way. He pulls himself of whichever predicament he put himself in and says, "出來了" (I'm out.)


The pictures above were taken with Craig's Mum's old phone, a Sony Ericsson K770i. Last Saturday, Craig's Dad had finally had enough of it always taking blurry photos and went to buy a new (second-hand) phone to replace it.


When picking up the phone from the shop, the first thing Craig's Dad did was take a picture with it. It's a Sony Ericsson K850i and its pictures are first rate even if the subject of the pictures are somewhat ordinary.


Lunch was had at a cafe near the phone shop. A very inexperienced waitress who couldn't understand the difference between a chicken sandwich and a chicken salad, despite being spoken to in her native language and while working in a restaurant where the menu has pictures, provided some unintended entertainment. As soon as she left another picture was taken with the new camera. The flash is much brighter than anything Craig's Dad has used before.


Craig's Dad took a couple of pictures with his phone while Craig was walking with his Mum back to the MRT.


Craig really likes running towards the camera when it's pointed at him.


The new camera was used another picture at home to test the flash again while Craig played with his Mum's old phone.


Then, after dinner, Craig decided to sit on the ground on the way back home. Craig's Dad mistakenly thought that taking his picture would convince him to get up and walk. In the end, Craig got what he wanted, which was to be carried all the way home.
